Key structures include the Barge and the Public Utilities Commission building as well as the Stone Stairs and Retaining Wall constructed by German Prisoners of War.
Development charges are imposed on the development of all lands located within the geographic boundary of the Town of Gravenhurst. Maps of the Town are available on the Town website at www.gravenhurst.ca.
VINCENT/FRY RESIDENCE STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE: This fine residence is worthy of commemoration owing to its uncommon architecture (in Muskoka) and its association with a prominent Gravenhurst family.

In addition, Dorothy Vincent married photographer Henry Fry who earned the Order of Canada for his work. He was the official photographer of the Queen’s visit in 1959 and documented her opening of “The Barge”. Cyril Vincent was Mayor of Gravenhurst from 1951-1953.
